A Saluda man, released from jail this summer after posting bond on murder charges in Henderson County, is back behind bars after Polk County deputies say he broke into an outbuilding Friday and stole a generator.

Polk County Sheriff Donald Hill said his deputies arrested Brandon Cody Lee Case, 24, and his girlfriend, 29-year-old Amanda Maybin, at the scene of a breaking and entering in progress at 719 Laurel Drive after receiving a call just after 4 p.m. Friday.

“The defendants had cut a pad lock off an outbuilding and stole a $700 generator and industrial drop cord,” according to Hill. “Both items were located in a vehicle that was also on the property and belonged to Case’s mother.”

Case, who lives at 709 Laurel Drive, was charged with felony breaking and entering and felony larceny.

Maybin, who also lives in the neighborhood at 701 Laurel Drive, was charged with aiding and abetting a larceny.

Hill said Case’s bond for the latest charge could only be set by a district or superior court judge due to his charges in Henderson County.

Case was charged with murder in connection with the February death of Joshua William Lindsay. Case’s bond was set at $500,000 in March. On June 8, Case made bail by using property as collateral and a bondsman.

Lindsay, 23, was found dead at 3:19 a.m. Feb. 22 at 2643 Macedonia Road in Saluda. His death was initially reported as a self-inflicted gunshot would, but Case was later charged with murder.

An autopsy report states that Lindsay died as a result of a large-caliber, non-exiting gunshot wound to the face and neck at an indeterminate range.

Case is set to appear in Henderson County Superior Court on June 24.

Maybin was released from custody on a written promise to appear in court for Friday’s charge. Case had his first appearance in court on Monday for his latest charges.
